This effort has resulted in a reduction of the currently approved burden by -7,214 hours (rounded). The addition of four grant programs to this collection does not affect the reporting requirements but does increase the overall number of respondents, which include peer reviewers, grant applicants and grant recipients. The number of respondants for each grant program has fluxuated between the previous collection (2016) and this renewal (2019).There is an overall reduction in grant applicants and grant recipients for the FMPP and LFPP grant programs due to previous errors in number of respondents that were corrected. The current calculations are based on the most recently available data regarding respondents for each form whether used by all nine grant programs, the eight competitive grant programs or one non-competitive grant program.
